Ozark
Season Two 10/10
My
body was not ready for this! This will have some spoilers. This
season had some many twists and turns and surprises that I wish I had
done a recap of every single episode to have been more thorough. The
first season of Ozark was amazing and the second did not disappoint.
What I love most about this show is that no one feels safe not even
the main characters. If you watched how the last season ended then
you know that just when things feel like they are falling into place
and there can be a moment of peace so crazy shit is about to take
place. As nutty as the first season was now that everyone is
established I knew they were gonna have to up the ante for this one
to even come close to the first. They did. I've never yelled at my TV
so much while watching a show.
The
season starts off with a body being buried. The Byrde family is balls
deep in this now. There is no more playing innocent when you just
watched some guys get murdered feet away from you. The Snell family
is not trying to play nice with anyone and if their honor or respect
is ever questioned or they feel offended they will lose all their
shit, especially the wife Darlene. She is dangerous as fuck. The guys
that were murdered were very important so the cartel sends Helen
Pierce from Chicago to check things out. The Byrde's lie until she
and her henchmen investigate and people just start dropping like
flies. Helen never gets her hands dirty which somehow makes her
scarier. She demands that something needs to be done but is not
specific so Jacob, the elder Snell, murders one of his own in a very
brutal way and they bury his body. There is a plan to put a casino on
the Snell's property. Jacob is kinda on board in a way but his wife
is like “Fuck that. This is our land. Never!”
Now
that shit is supposed to be built the Kansas City Mafia are involved
and unions on top of crazy ass hillbillies, cartels, criminals, and
the police. Wendy Byrde starts to get in close with a senator and is
now introduced to a high stakes game at a whole new level. This
entire time I am wondering just how badly they do not want to be
involved in this life of crime. I mean, just when they start to get
some footing so squirrely shit will happen and they end up deeper in
a mess. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Rachel, who took the money
and ran last season, ends up high and drunk and crashing her car.
Next thing you know that cop Roy shows up and turns her into an
informant. He gives her drugs he steals from a drug dealer and jerks
off listening to tapes of an informant that is now dead. This dude is
a fucking creep.
The
kids are starting to get in on the dirt. Jonah opens an account under
an alias and starts laundering his own money. Charlotte, who took the
money in the first place starts stealing shit, getting high and
drinking, and ends up wanting her emancipation from the family. Ruth
is trying to deal with her father who is now free from prison and
trying to keep the fact that she murdered her uncle under wraps. Her
father figures it out and holds it over her head whenever he wants
something from her. He is a shit bird. She is trying to save up money
to get her cousin away from the family that he thinks is cursed to be
a failure.
There
was a lot of character growth on this season which I appreciated. The
mom got hardcore as hell even though at times I asked “What the
hell is she doing?!” You get to see how people react when they are
pushed to their breaking point. Some of them snapped and screamed
while others powered through in very surprising ways. People died
that I did not expect to. Others did things I did not think they were
capable of. This entire season kept me on my toes which I was happy
about. I am excited to see maybe two more seasons of this because
this can not last, meaning this family, at the pace they are going.
If you liked the first season I expect that you'll like this one. I
liked this better than the first.
